Yeah, that was where I got hung up first, too. I even thought for a moment that it wouldn't work until I realized that you could figure out this way if the off guy is lighter or heavier. And once you know that, the rest is easy.

Noice!
Trust you? The only person I can trust is myself.

Terry loves additional episodes of smart, progressive comedy!
So I fell into Tumblr and found this little gem:
Am I the only one who really wants Holt and Kevin to have a daughter?
And by that I don't mean I want him and Kevin to adopt.
I mean I want it to be an average day at the precinct when Holt walks out of his office with a young woman. They shake hands, bid goodbye and Jake walks over to ask who she is.
"Who's that? Someone from city hall?"
And Holt just casually replies. "No that's my daughter."
And everyone in the bullpen just stops, stunned. Because he’s never mentioned it before, ever, even in passing.
"You have a daughter?"
"Yes, her name is Claire, she is 24 years of age and studying at Jon Hopkins."
Everyone turns to look at Amy who's frantically flipping through six, thick binders, freaking out because she has not even a footnote on Claire's existence!
Charles: Amy, how do you not know this? Doesn't the captain have photos of his daughter?
Jake: Yeah, I thought you investigated everyone that's breathed the same air as the captain in an effort to bond with him.
Amy: I thought she was his notary!
*cut away*
Holt: Here is your certificate confirming you completed volume one of my mentorship program.
Amy: Thank you Captain! So official, it's even notarized!
Holt: Yes. Here is a photograph of the notary, Claire.
Amy: Oh, I saw her in a photo with you and Kevin, I was wondering what your relationship was. Did she notarize your marriage certificate?
Holt: *looks at watch* Given that it is 30 seconds after official work hours I will permit this single personal question. Yes she did.
*cut back*
Jake: You didn't think it was weird he had a photo of his notary on his phone? Wait, no. That's the sort of thing I wouldn't have questioned either.

Dang, now I want that to be canon.

Oh my god. That is amazing.
Great. But a little bit unrealistic, isn't it? Back when they came together having children wasn't exactly a common event for a gay couple. (Though that might explain why they kept it quiet…..)
They got married much more recently.
Also, holy crap that was good.
Yeah, I'm behind on the show...I watched what is on Netflix over here, which is only up to season 4.
Just a harmless giant from a foreign land.
Given that Kevin's parents blame Holt for 'turning their Son gay' its entirely plausible for him to have a child from a first marriage that he and Holt raised after the coming out and divorce.
Just one possible scenario.
Another one is that he and Kevin just steamrollered any opposition with their planning and meticulous house during the adoption process.
"You can reply to this Message!"
I think criticizing any bit of Brooklyn 99 lore, canon or otherwise, as a bit unrealistic is perhaps missing the point.
After all, how many serial killers with themes did Holt arrest by himself in his detective days?
She/her
All of them. Because he’s the best.
Being Kevin's daughter from a previous relationship seems the only plausible reasoning. Holt's been out for a very long time, and the show hasn't been pulling any punches about how much discrimination he'd been facing for decades for it.
... but being a notary at 19? That seems even less realistic.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
Becoming a public notary isn't actually that difficult. I know someone who is a notary and about that age.

So apparently Chelsea Peretti is gonna be leaving sometime this season.

Haha, I'm guessing you don't like Gina much?
I'm personally indifferent to the news but I do feel bad for the people who do like Gina. Also I wonder how they're gonna write Gina out of the show.
Trust you? The only person I can trust is myself.
Yeah, I don't care either way either...I am there for Captain Hold.

If Captain Holt left then the show would truly be done for. Even though Rosa is my personal favorite character, I recognize that Holt is truly the best out of everyone. 
I liked having someone on the show who wasn't actually on the NYPD and I digged the character. Still, not a reason to be very upset. For me, it would be Jake, Amy, Rosa, Terry or Holt leaving that would take out some enjoyment out of it.
Life is unfair...

Oh noice, that's earlier than I expected!
